I'm about to mount a DISH dish on a DirectTV roof mounted mast. Is there a better, easier, more available, less expensive way to do it than this 1.66 Pipe Adapter Existing Pole Dish Satellite Mast Antenna Installation SKY1100 | eBay

Thanks.

A one foot length of 1-5/8" chain link line post inserted in DTV mount secured by a few self tapers.

This is the best way although in a pinch, I have cut a section of one of our poles off and self-tapped to into the DTV Mast. Neither are Dish approved, but sometimes, you have to make the customer happy, right?

Use the same. Solid as a rock. Add a self tapper as well.
